Mystery piece in oil pan
New to NAM, I bought my 2006 DS MCS in May with 79,000 mi. The other day I replaced my oil pan gasket and found this little piece in bottom of the pan. I was wondering if anyone might know what it is and if I should be worried, the engine isn't making any noises so and runs smooth.
Thanks for any input.

Yea,
That does not look good unless they replaced a rocker arm and dropped the tappet. Its held in with those caps.
